Research direction

Start with the InputMapping clinit example in the issue and locate the corresponding decompiled output. Trace how primitive class literals are rendered, then verify that the output uses int.class and boolean.class rather than Integer.TYPE and Boolean.TYPE.

Description

(Originally opened as https://github.com/MinecraftForge/ForgeGradle/issues/713 on the wrong repo)
This is a very minor enchancement, but it should be pretty easy to implement

See InputMapping clinit:

      MethodType methodtype = MethodType.methodType(Boolean.TYPE);
      MethodHandle methodhandle = null;
      int i = 0;

      try {
         methodhandle = lookup.findStatic(GLFW.class, "glfwRawMouseMotionSupported", methodtype);
         MethodHandle methodhandle1 = lookup.findStaticGetter(GLFW.class, "GLFW_RAW_MOUSE_MOTION", Integer.TYPE);

Integer.TYPE and Boolean.TYPE should be replaced with int.class and boolean.class respectively, as that's more easy to understand (the compiler converts any primitive .class call to the respective wrapper class .TYPE)
